Session #2, Saturday, 3:00–4:30

"Peripheral Nerve Sheaths in Structural Integration"
Christoph Sommer, European Rolfing^® Instructor-in-training–Following the latest insights of French Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, this workshop introduces the assessment, relevance, and treatment of the fascial sheaths surrounding the peripheral nerves of the neck.

"Limbic Hypersensitivity Phenomenon and Structural Integration"

"The Four Parts of Expansional Balance"
Edward W. Maupin, Ph.D., Emeritus Rolfer, Director of IPSB–Structural Integration means unity in gravity, a unity which comes about because the body is designed to expand in response to gravity. Understanding the four parts of expansional balance can help any structural practitioner produce effective results.

Session #3, Saturday, 4:30–6:30

"The Future of Research Projects"
Thomas Findley, M.D., Ph.D.–Associate Director for Research at the War-Related Illness and Injury Study Center at the VA Medical Center in New Jersey, Co-director of the Center for Healthcare Knowledge Management, Certified Advanced Rolfer^®, and recently appointed Chair of the RISI^® Research Task Force.

"The Future of Research Projects (continued)"
–A discussion for those interested in conducting, participating in, or finding out about research projects in the SI community. Tom will lead off with a brief presentation on SI research findings and grants, and then facilitate discussion on current projects, possibilities and questions.

"The Ethics of SI"
Michael Murphy, Certified Advanced Rolfer^®, RISI^® Faculty, Anatomy, massage and ethics instructor for the Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto, California; and Thomas Myers, Certified Advanced Rolfer^® and Director of Kinesis Myofascial Institute.–An interactive, case-study approach to the experience of a supervision group, creating a safe space to explore our own relationship to values and ethics.

"Mysteries of the Sacrum Revealed"
Jan Sultan, Advanced Instructor for the RISI^®–The sacrum is a multi-axial bridge between many systems in the body.
